Yakov Alekseyevich Rokossovsky looked at the phone on the desk that kept ringing and immediately picked it up: "This is Major Rokossov, who is calling?"
"Yashka!" A woman's voice came from the receiver.
Yakov frowned: "...Godmother? How did you call here? We're about to depart, and an emergency call could come in at any time!"
The woman on the other end of the line was Yakov Alekseyevich Rokossovsky's godmother, the widow of his father's second deputy officer.
"Godmother knows you're busy now, so I'll be quick. You should know, Alyosha is also in your unit, he's a Private Second Class, only eighteen this year. What if he faces danger? Your father is his godfather and would be heartbroken."
Yakov's father, Marshal Rokossov, a hero of the Ante Republic and a founding father, has indeed always cared for the widow and child of his second deputy officer.
